...AND I built the Eiffel Tower!
May. 9th, 2012 09:27 am"If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye."
-- Mitt Romney, 2008
"Bailout of enterprises that are in trouble, that's not the way to go. I know President Bush started it with the auto industry. I thought it was a mistake."
-- Mitt Romey, 2009
"I pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy, and finally when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet. So, I'll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry has come back."
-- Mitt Romney, 2012
I didn't like having to bail out the auto industry, but I supported it. There were far too many other industries dependent on it, and it would have been a catastrophe. I was quite surprised when Ford, who was also in trouble, went it alone and pulled it together. And I'm very happy that the Big Three are on solid footing again. I was not nearly as much in favor of bailing out Wall Street, their industry is largely based on gambling and they've rigged the game in such a way that they absolutely cannot lose.
And to the best of my knowledge, Mitt Romney was not involved in the construction of the Eiffel Tower. I think it was some guy named Smith or something.
